Rare opportunity to acquire a tucked away rural idyll set in about 5 acres. DescriptionWith its origins dating to circa 1600, Upper Farm began life as an agricultural barn. In the early 90's the present owners purchased the farm and set about creating a family home, from the by then dilapidated old barn. This beautiful home is a celebration of the finest craftsmanship, showcasing infinite attention to detail. Much of the original fabric of the barn has been preserved, with other ancient beams and doors being sourced elsewhere. Quirkily, an old church pew, already repurposed as seating in the historic Eagle and Child pub in Oxford, was again creatively repurposed as a dividing low wall between the kitchen and sitting room.Huge old oak beams merge seamlessly with new oak and have become the heart of the building. Full height oak framed doors and windows throughout flood the house with natural light. The bespoke oak staircase, crafted by a local carpenter, takes centre stage in the stunning entrance hall, and rises to a magnificent galleried landing. Full height glazed windows overlook the garden.The entrance hall, sitting room and kitchen are open plan with an old flagstone floor throughout. The cosy sitting room has a large open fire with wood burning stove within. Full height French doors and glazed panels open to the west facing terrace.
